-==== Helping to expand the Wikia! ====
+===== Helping to expand the Wikia! =====
 Hey you! Yes you, are you interested in expanding the Wikia?
-Yes? Great to hear, let's go over basics.
+Yes? Great to hear!
 ----
-==== Is there a reward for expanding Wikia? ====
-Yes, yes there are rewards. We understand that your time is worth something.
-We have special vanity items prepared for our Wikia contributors, but you won't be able to get them for just making one small article, it's reward for those who stick with us to make Wikia a better and more friendly place for all players to learn something from.
-Expansive and big articles for bigger custom quests, or mysteries will be rewarded additional with PP or store items.
 ==== Contact the Staff ====
-Easiest way to reach Antarcticpuppy who's responsible for the Wikia is either through direct contact on Discord, or making a ticket through our [Help] tab in our official Discord. Just tag him, and he'll hop in to contact you.

-==== Making the content ====
-Our Wikia is locked from contributing directly into the site, we understand some people prefer to get to the dirty work themselves, however it may lead to articles being deleted, misinformation spread or offensive content. So to help us expand Wikia you'll need to make a draft into google docs, or any other online media that allows us to open it (any trust worthy cloud services, that is) online and we will implement it, with credits.
-=== Sections ===
-Make sure that all parts of article are understandable, different phases or important things like, way to, items needed, special preparations or important spots should be marked as such with proper headline.
-=== How to make screenshots ===
-It's best that all screenshots are in same size, I recommend using Photopea as it's a free tool that is Photoshop based that allows you to set and crop images freely.
-=== Minimap ===
-Often you'll be faced with road or path towards the quest or place you want to showcase, by pressing //**CONTROL+SHIFT+M**// you will open the minimap on full screen allowing you to have high quality map. What I also recommend is then zooming it in maximally, and then unzooming it X amount of times to showcase the area.
+  * Create a ticket in the [Help] tab in our official Discord and you will be contacted.
+  * Our Wikia is locked from outside influence, so first your account must be approved.
+  * We understand some people prefer to get right to work, however it may lead to articles being deleted, misinformation spread or offensive content.
-Example:
+==== How to think when contributing to the Wiki ====
-{{ https://imgur.com/oMsuS18.png }}
+  * The purpose of the wiki is to help our players and promote new content.
+  * Consider the age of quests and secrets when updating the wiki. For new content, slight hints and directions are ok but don't spoil it immediately.
+  * Something that has been out for a while and is likely known by most players shouldn’t be hidden from new players.
+  * Ask in the wiki team chat in Discord if you are uncertain about something.
-It allows you to showcase the location and then, usually full map-screen might be too big, so importing it into the editing software of your choice (or Photopea for my choice), I used 300px:158px
+==== Spoilers ====
-{{https://imgur.com/Lyg9CRZ.png }} {{ https://imgur.com/1Pg0kaw.png}}
+  * Some players want to explore the game without being spoiled. Put content that must be explored inside hidden sections using
-I used Blue circle to mark starting position, and white circle to mark next step position. Keeping same colour scheme and markers allows maps to be clearly understandable. Sometimes showing right path is also important, but it's still worth to keep the minimap clearing and not scribble all over it.
+  <hidden Spoiler> This is what a spoiler looks like. </hidden>.
-=== NPC ===
-All conversation with NPCs should either include full text, or just parts important for the quest.
